Per Village Code, many businesses require a license to operate within the Village of Westmont. Businesses will work with both the Village Clerk’s Office and the Community Development Department during the licensing process. (Personnel from the Zoning and Building divisions of the Community Development Department and Fire Department may conduct inspections related to the issuance of a business license - the cost of these inspections are included in the annual fee.)

On an annual basis or after construction, and in order conduct business operations, a Business License is required and you can think of it as a "Business" Certificate of Occupancy - which is issued by the Village Clerk's Office.

This should not be confused with a "Construction" Certificate of Occupancy - which is issued by the Community Development Department.
